The New York Knicks opened their first NBA Finals in 27 years Wednesday night, but some of its stars have made multi-figure moves off the hardwood.
Jalen Brunson, the engine that’s driven the New York Knicks’ turnaround lays his head to rest in Westchester, like many of his teammates. Rumor has it that he purchased a mansion in Ocean City, New Jersey in 2024, but little else is known about the property, according to Realtor.com.
Big man Karl-Anthony Towns — “Bodega KAT” — purchased a home in Minnesota in 2020 for $4.5 million, according to Realtor.com, wanting to enjoy the luxury life while suiting up for the Timberwolves. There’s a movie theater room (KAT is a big fan of HBO’s “Severance”), a pool, a sauna and a gym.
This January, Towns sold his property in Minnesota for $4.75 million, according to Complex, lower than the initial listing price of $5.5 million.
He scooped up a $14 million home in Los Angeles with fiancée Jordyn Woods, according to TMZ. The couple moved into the home last May, enjoying an 11,000-square-foot estate that has a barn, a 350-bottle wine fridge, a home theater, a tennis court, a racquetball court and a 150-person nightclub on the grounds.
“Iron Man” Mikal Bridges paid $6 million for a 5,200-square-foot ground-floor duplex in Tribeca last year, the New York Post reported. The original asking price dropped to roughly half what Bridges paid before a flash sale auction brought the price back up.
The home includes a gym, an office and a yoga studio. It was a fortuitous buy for Bridges: he purchased the home in May 2024, two months before he was traded to the Knicks from New York’s other team, the Brooklyn Nets.
Miles McBride is a lightning rod off the bench, much like the beleaguered project initially known as the XI in New York City development circles. In 2024 McBride scored a 1,600-square-foot unit in the Chelsea development — now known as One High Line — for $15,500 a month, according to the New York Post.
Amenities at the building include a lap pool and a golf simulator. The fact that it’s only a mile away from Madison Square Garden probably doesn’t hurt the guard known to Knicks fans as “Deuce.”
As of 2023, backup big man Mitchell Robinson maintained at least one home in New York, specifically Westchester. White Plains offered an opportunity for the center to live his country lifestyle and shack up with his 19 dogs, according to the New York Post.
The Louisiana native also has a place in his home state.
Do-it-all guard Josh Hart lives in Westchester County’s Harrison, where he and his wife Shannon commissioned a 250-square-foot playroom for their two young sons, complete with a climbing structure, basketball hoop and yellow cab wallpaper.
Mike Brown, the head coach who may lead the Knicks to their first NBA title in over a half-century found his new home in New York last September. While the exact location is unknown, he has shouted out Eye Designs of Westchester, crediting them with progressive lenses that improve his stat sheet-viewing. The sale was brokered by Dee Dee Abdur-Rahim of Christie’s International, also the wife of the former NBA star Shareef Abdur-Rahim. Brown has also been connected to Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he owns another property.
Jose Alvarado, the only born-and-bred New Yorker on the team, grew up in public housing in Williamsburg. This spring, Brooklyn President Antonio Reynoso hosted a homecoming celebration for Alvarado, who joined the Knicks in February.
Filipino American guard Jordan Clarkson joined the Knicks before this season. Clarkson’s real estate portfolio extends to San Antonio, where in 2023 the player bought a mansion listed at $7.5 million. The Real Deal could not verify his current residence, though he has been spotted in Westchester.
Clarkson is not the only Knicks player with links to San Antonio. Jeremy Sochan, who joined the orange and blue before the deadline, still has most of his belongings stashed in Texas. Since joining the Knicks, Sochan has been said to be “living out of two suitcases in Manhattan.”
And Landry Shamet has built up his real estate lending portfolio, as detailed by Forbes. His work with a former college teammate is centered around Phoenix — where Shamet played professionally — and Wichita, where he spent his college years.
